Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.)

The DbProviderSpecificTypePropertyAttribute is used by a provider writer to designate a provider-specific type parameter property which is not inherited from the DbParameter base class. The SqlDbType property of a SqlParameter is an example of a provider-specific type property not found in DbParameter.

A provider writer can apply DbProviderSpecificTypePropertyAttribute(true) to indicate a provider-specific data type parameter property. This allows for its discovery using reflection, which enables code generation tools, such as those used in Visual Studio, to generate code geared to a specific provider. The IsProviderSpecificTypeProperty property returns true if the property has been set, otherwise false.
